What's the difference between IPL and Laser for hair removal?

Before we compare hair removal devices, it is important to note the key factors that drive the results they achieve:

Power level
(the amount of energy it delivers - more power = more permanent, faster results)

Wavelength
(the distance between two peaks of a light wave - 810nm is the ideal wavelength for hair removal)

COMPARING RESULTS OF BRAUN VS. TRIA

Braun:

Delivers up to 74% hair reduction after 12 weekly treatments.
Monthly top-ups are necessary for maintaining results.

Tria:

Delivers up to 100% hair removal after just 8 treatments.
Only occasional top-ups as required.

COMPARING POWER OF BRAUN VS. TRIA

Power, measured in J/cm², is clinically proven to have a positive correlation with the amount of hair removed.

More power = more permanent, faster results.

The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser produces 20 J/cm² of power per pulse, which is over 3X more power than the 6 J/cm² released by the Braun IPL Silk-Experts Pro.

Our Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is the highest power that is safe for at-home use, delivering clinic-grade performance.

COMPARING PRECISION OF BRAUN VS. TRIA

While our Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser precisely targets the hair follicle by emitting a single, concentrated 810nm wavelength, ensuring highly effective treatment, the Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 and 7 use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), which emits a broad spectrum of light.

Unlike the diode laser technology used by Tria, IPL's broad light spectrum diffuses energy rather than concentrating it, resulting in a less precise, less powerful treatment.

BRAUN VS. TRIA - WHICH DEVICE OFFERS THE BEST RESULTS?

Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is a superior technology, providing better results in a shorter time frame:

Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is clinically proven to deliver up to 100% hair removal after 8 treatments.
Braun delivers 74% hair reduction after 12 treatments.

BRAUN VS. TRIA - WHICH IS QUICKER?

Braun: A larger treatment window allows for faster area coverage. However, IPL technology's need for multiple sessions and its inability to achieve permanent hair removal reduce its long-term efficiency.

Tria: While individual treatment sessions may be more time-consuming with Tria, they will deliver more permanent results in fewer total sessions.

Using a more powerful and precise diode laser, Tria delivers up to 75% hair reduction in just 2 treatments—results that would take 12 weeks to achieve with the Braun IPL Skin I-Expert Pro 5 & 7.

WHICH IS MORE COMFORTABLE, BRAUN OR TRIA?

Both devices use light or laser energy which turns into heat in the hair follicle. This heat can cause discomfort as it works to disable the hair follicle.

More powerful devices, such as the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser, are closer to professional, in-clinic lasers which are known to come with some discomfort. This is a sign that the laser is powerful enough to properly disable hair follicles. However, intolerable pain is not normal and, if experienced, you should speak to a healthcare professional.

WHICH IS BETTER, BRAUN OR TRIA?

In conclusion, the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser stands out as the superior choice for at-home hair removal with clinically proven results, removing more hair, faster than Braun's IPLs.

While Braun IPL Silk I-Expert 5 and 7 may allow for quicker individual treatments and less discomfort, they ultimately require more treatments and maintenance over time to achieve less permanent results.

*Permanent results are defined as 'a permanent reduction in hair regrowth'. i.e., a long-term stable reduction in hair counts following a full course of laser treatments. Hair removal and reduction results are based on independent clinical studies.
